     Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer (扫盲志愿者). The
training I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however.
When I began to discover what other people"s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the
true importance of reading.
     My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she
walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn"t know which bus to take.
When I told her I would get her a bus schedule. She told me it would not help because she could not read
it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket, because she couldn"t always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could
only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the
product she wanted.
      As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie"s self-confidence, which encouraged her to
continue in her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the
supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. She sat with him before he
went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face, and she began to see how her own hard work in learning
to read paid off. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping
Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
     As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have
learned more from the experience than Marie did.
1. Why didn"t Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?
A. Because she liked to walk to the supermarket.    
B. Because she lived far away from the bus stop.
C. Because she couldn"t find the right bus.  
D. Because she couldn"t afford the bus ticket.      
2. What did the author do last summer?
A. She worked in the supermarket.
B. She gave single mothers the help they needed.
C. She went to a training program to help a literacy volunteer.
D. She helped someone to learn to read.
3. What did the writer think of her work as a literacy volunteer?
A. meaningful      
B. Interesting      
C. Tiring    
D. Touching

     In 1977, Jack, an Italian-American who lived in San Francisco, flew from America to Italy to visit his
relatives. On the way, the plane made a one-hour stop to refuel (加油) at the New York Airport.
     Thinking that he had arrived, Jack got out and spent three days in New York, believing he was in
Rome.
     When his relatives were not there to meet him, Jack thought they had been caught in the heavy Roman
traffic mentioned in their letters. While looking for their address, Jack could not help noticing that
modernization had changed most, if not all, of the ancient city"s landmarks. He also noticed that many
people spoke English with strong American accent. However, he just thought that Americans got
everywhere. He also believed that so many street signs were written in English especially for the
Americans. Jack spoke very little English himself so he asked a policeman in Italian the way to the bus
station. As chance would have it, the policeman came from Italy and replied in the same language. After
twelve hours traveling round on a bus, the driver handed him over to a second policeman. After brief
argument with the policeman, Jack was very surprised to find that the Rome police had employed someone who did not speak his mother tongue.
     Jack did not believe he was told that he was in New York. In order to get on a plane to San Francisco, the policeman raced him to the airport in a police car with sirens (报警器) screaming. "See," he said to his interpreter. "I know I"m in Italy. That"s how they drive."
1. Where did Jack live?
A. In Italy              
B. In San Francisco    
C. In New York        
D. The story doesn"t mention
2. Why did Jack spend three days in New York?
A. He thought he had arrived in Italy
B. He did not want to go to Italy
C. He wanted to see some relatives first in New York
D. He wanted to have short rest in New York
3. Which of the following is Not true?
A. The first policeman could speak Italian fluently
B. The second policeman could not speak Italian at all
C. Jack had a brief argument with the second policeman
D. Jack could speak much English

     Yesterday evening I was watching the evening news on TV. The news was about a prize for scientific
discoveries. The 1 said something that caught my 2 . "All great discoveries," he said, "are made by people
between the ages of 25 and 30." Being a little over 30 myself, I wanted to 3 with him. Nobody wants to
think that he has passed the age of making any 4 . The next day I went to the public library, spending
several hours, and  5 to find the ages of famous people and their discoveries. The announcer was right!

does, but look when these people   14  their careers. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of
